How to Leverage Referral?

A contact at ACN was kind enough to submit a referral on my behalf by forwarding my resume along to a recruiter and CCing me. This was approximately a week ago.

I replied and thanked my contact - is there anything else I should be doing to stay in touch with the recruiter? How should I proceed in this situation? (as you can tell I am new to the consulting recruitment world). Thanks.

Stay in touch with your contact with other questions, maybe case prep, etc.

Ask around when the interview invites are given. When that time comes and you haven't heard anything, follow-up.
